WHY CARTEL-FUNDED NIETO OPPOSES TRUMP’S WALL
Thursday, President Enrique Peña Nieto told the BBC that he was “saddened” and is “against” Trump’s decision to build the wall, which Nieto said is now “dividing us.” “Mexico does not believe in walls.” But maybe that’s because the Mexican President was funded by the Juarez Cartel and that’s why he is against the Trump border plan.

BREAKING: Iran retaliates
President Trump’s executive order suspending visa entry from seven Muslim-majority countries (Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Sudan and Yemen) for 120 days, while suspending refugee admissions for four months and indefinitely banned those from war-torn Syria has had immediate effect. Iran said on Saturday it would stop U.S. citizens entering the country in retaliation to Washington’s visa ban against Tehran and six other majority-Muslim countries announced by new U.S. President Donald Trump. “While respecting the American people and distinguishing between them and the hostile policies of the U.S. government, Iran will implement the principle of reciprocity until the offensive U.S. limitations against Iranian nationals are lifted,” a Foreign Ministry statement said.

A Border Wall is a Terrible Idea for Americans and Immigrants Alike
A border wall is a colossal waste of time, money and resources. It will “bring jobs” in the same way that massive, government works such as FDR’s “fixes” for the Great Depression brought work back. That is, it diverted people and time into clunky, government-planned pursuits, instead of letting a market solution to the crisis happen.

Trump banned refugees on Holocaust Remembrance Day. That says everything
In 1939, the German oceanliner St Louis and its 937 passengers, almost all Jewish refugees, were turned away from the port of Miami and sent back to Europe. Of those passengers, 254 were murdered in the Holocaust. The US government turned away those refugees, so heartbreakingly close to safety – and also restricted Jewish immigration and instituted new vetting procedures – because of rampant overblown fears that the Nazis might smuggle spies and saboteurs in among the Jewish refugees. On Friday, which was Holocaust Remembrance Day, the White House put out a statement that failed to mention the 6 million Jews who were exterminated by the Nazis. Hours later, Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending all refugee resettlement for 120 days and indefinitely suspending the resettlement of refugees from Syria. Trump’s order is a slap in the face to the millions of Americans who uphold our best traditions of welcoming the stranger seeking refuge.

Trump Refugee Order Balances Security and Compassion
Read any commentary on the just signed executive order on visa and refugee-vetting from several countries in the Middle East., and odds are the assessment will tell you more about the writer’s politics than be an analysis of the order.
On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an exceptionally important executive order initiating both the beginning of the rebuilding of the U.S. armed forces and the fulfillment of a campaign promise.
Human flourishing requires the freedom of imagination, and government only squelches imaginative possibilities. Instead of social workers, administrators, deans, secretaries, and other handlers of paper and answerers of telephones, why do we not have a veritable army of skilled craftsmen to make our roads, bridges, sidewalks, plazas, and public buildings beautiful?

Mexico threatens to stop fighting terrorism after Trump border wall plan
Mexican Senator Armando Rios Pitter recently appeared on MSNBC to drop an absolute bombshell threat that was subsequently ignored throughout the corporate media coverage of Trump’s controversial announcement of a wall on the border. Pitter, speaking to MSNBC’s Mariana Atencio Friday, revealed that Mexico, in retaliation for President Trump’s efforts to secure the nation, would literally stop cooperating on counter-terrorism with the United States.
Report: Obama issued a massive ammunition ban just one day before he left office
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe, an Obama appointee, ordered a new ammunition ban for certain federal lands on Thursday–his last full day in office. The ban, which took effect immediately, eliminates the use of lead-based ammunition on federal lands like national parks and wildlife refuges, as well as any other land administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service.The ban is expected to have a major impact on much of the hunting that takes place on federal lands across the United States as lead-based ammunition is widely legal and used throughout the country. Ashe said the order was necessary to protect wildlife from exposure to lead.

Christian Leaders Denounce Trump’s Plan to Favor Christian Refugees
A broad array of clergy members has strongly denounced Mr. Trump’s order as discriminatory, misguided and inhumane. Outrage has also come from some of the evangelical, Roman Catholic and mainline Protestant leaders who represent the churches most active in trying to aid persecuted Christians. By giving preference to Christians over Muslims, religious leaders have said the executive order pits one faith against another. By barring any refugees from entering the United States for nearly four months, it leaves people to suffer longer in camps, and prevents families from reuniting.

Iran says to ban U.S. visitors in retaliation to Trump move
Iran said on Saturday it would stop U.S. citizens entering the country in retaliation to Washington's visa ban against Tehran and six other majority-Muslim countries announced by new U.S. President Donald Trump. "While respecting the American people and distinguishing between them and the hostile policies of the U.S. government, Iran will implement the principle of reciprocity until the offensive U.S. limitations against Iranian nationals are lifted," a Foreign Ministry statement said. "The restrictions against travel by Muslims to America... are an open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation in particular and will be known as a great gift to extremists," said the statement, carried by state media.

For weeks, we have been wondering about the lawyers. What suits would they file? Would they have standing? Could they have any impact? Today, the lawyers showed up. Bigly. And happily, for America, the courts are still independent, and largely allergic to “alternative facts.” This is a country where the law matters and the Constitution endures. And it’s also a country in which hordes of lawyers just showed up at airports to defend detained travelers ensnared under Donald Trump’s lawless and unconstitutional Muslim ban.
